Il l. strange how very few people know
what their normal pulse is. They know
that the average pulse is about seventy,
and imagine that they are well or other
wise as their pulse approaches or departs
from this standard. 1t is true that al
average of all pulses would give a result
Of about seventy beats, but in no other
physical peculiarly is there such wide
individual variation. l had two students
in my Office at the same time, both very
strong and remarkably healthy young
Js.1. The normal pulse of one was forty
seven and the other ninety-three. This
difference is unusual, few pulses falling
below sixty or rising above eighty in a
healthy subject, but an unusually slow or
rapid pulse is no indication whatever of
disease, rs is populariy supposed to be the
case. Most people overestimate their
pulse, as they often count its beats when
talking about the matter, and it is n fact
well known to'physicians that the excite
ment of conversation will quicken the
pulse from five to twenty beats. The
best time to arrive at the true normal is
shortly after waking in the morning,
vsen the nerves are unexcited.-Globe

the result of a deliberate design on the

which the empire is thoroughly prepared,
in order to have France at disadvan-
tage.

The interstate bill provides
that the commission created under it shall
have power to suspend the operation of
any of its clauses, and the commission has
shown u wise readiness to exercise this
power. The measure was intended as a
tentative one, aud it is better that suspen-
sions should be granted upon insufficient
cause than that any important interest of
any section or state should suffer by rea-
son of too strict enforcement. The re-
suit will be, judging from the ability and
character OF the members, that the law
will be made to work as far as possible,
and that the difficulties in the way of its
full operation will be laid before congress,
which can then provide whatever addi-
tional legislation may be required in
amendment of an experimental bill advo.

Going Back on it.

Last fall when the proposition to vote bonds in
aid of the D. NJ. & A. r. r. was proposed, num-
Der Of citizens in Dodge City, in consideration Of
the support Of Cimarron on the bonds, agreed to
support the formation of Gray county. This was
q fair and honorable agreement, the town of Cim-
AKRON giving a majority for the bonds Now, the
formation of Gray county is before the legislature
and it lie also proposed to erect county out Of the
territory on the east side Of the county. Since
the proposition to make a county on the east side,
opposition is being made to both county PROPOSE
tons. Some of the citizens who signed the Gray
county agreement take occasion to oppose both
county projects. Honor and fairness would de-
mand that those citizens who signed the Gray
county proposition should refrain from opposing
it. There are very few citizens who are ''going
back on their written promises, we are glad to
state. We have the names of forty-two citizens
who signed the agreement to aid in making Gray
county, and perhaps this list will be furnished to
our readers II a man will GO back on his written
promise in an agreement Of this kind, he will offer
some subterfuge to withdraw from any contract
no matter what it's character.

Rapid flowing water sccms more living and
is much illusion it this appearance II they get
more exposure to oxidation, they also get less
time for it. If the slow stream leaves more organ
c deposit in its bed 1t is because it has more time
and repose for settling and lees force to carry the
dirt with it. The bed Of swift stream at the ex-
pense Of cleanliness in the water that scours it,
juet as the washed dish is cleaner than the dish
water. The only valid reason for prefering the
water of a rapid stream, quantities being equal,
would be position more elevated and less expos
ed to surface drainage. Engineers calculate that
the carrying power OF water increases as sne sixth
Rowing six times as fast another will be able to
transport 46 SIS times more matter Consequently,
il pollution be discharged into lively flowing
stream, it will have very little chance Of being
dropped from the water at all.

Our Coal Fields.

Coal underlies this soil. The experiment has
been made, and the the test is considered sufici-
ent evidence to warrant the belief that strata of
bituminous coal can be found that will pay for
the work in operating it. On H. McBrooms land,
north Of Speareville, Mr.. Halliday, an experienced
miner, who has been in the coal mining for a num-
Der of years, has drilled in the ground to depth
of 80 feet. At 20 feet he found a strata Of coal
from ten to twenty inches in thickness. Mr.. Hal
liday informed Mr.. McBroom the character Of the
different stratas Of earth before he proceeded with
the work, and the earth, rock and water was found
as he indicated. He showed us some specimens
Of rock taken from the drill which have indications
of lead and silver Mr. Halliday Believes q thicker
vein of coal will be found. Should q lead or sill
yer mine be discovered the venture will certainly
prove profitable one

The report that speareville was trying to secure
the formation of a new county on the east end of

used. 1t was reported in this meeting that Soule
had 1000 to spend in the Legislature for the for
nation of the new county, and the masking Of

citizens was sent to Dodge City, but after little

not, intending to beat Speareville for the county

officials, and the change was not made to prevent

This system was adopted several years ago on many
